[quote=@Cynder] Yeah, this is part of the problem. I've dropped about four or so since we last spoke. It's also because of the fact that I'm just tired and lethargic lately. I'm also still in high school and it's the last month of the year. Not exactly the easiest time, you know how that goes. [/quote] Sounds like you're experiencing a burnout. Same thing happened to me a while ago with my signature images. (One below doesn't count as its just a crop) but at one stage I was doing requests, entering in Signature of the Week competitions, making my own things, experimenting with large photomanipulation images... and I got my first mod position on a gfx site. In the end I stopped using Photoshop for about 3 years I think and its only been in the last 18 months that I made several different signature images. Don't let yourself reach this stage. The moment you change your hobby into an invested interest that you want more out of, is the moment you start to loose sight of why you began writing in the first place. Was it to explore character personas? Journey to new worlds? Take on history with a new meaning? Or design monsters and beasts to battle? Admiditly you do have the last bit of school and that usually is a handful, but once you finish see if you can ground your views again and go back into writing. Write because you enjoy it, not because you have to. :)
